Does anyone know if the Gnat XS100 is still at Fyfield Essex?

And if so who owns it?

I presume you mean the wings & rear fuselage ? As the nose section is still with the A.Martin interiors store SW3, London

Don’t worry mate, personally I love them, they look good and sound good. I’ve heard them being called ‘jet pigs’ a couple of times so the name’s kind of stuck in my head, plus it’s a lot easier to say than ‘jet provost’…..

Never heard that before. We did use a few colourful names, but the polite term was ‘JayPee’ (used with an affectionate smile) 😀

I think a few points need clarifying ! The airfield is used for training firemen in the essential role of rescuing people from aircraft . The aircraft have a purpose and are not ‘abandoned’ as such . The land is the property of the Mod and I am sure they do not welcome souvenir hunters . The base is still used by helicopters operating from RNAS Culdrose – there are numerous pictures of the wrecks there on the net.

Exactly.

As i said, MOD owned and MOD property. If you get caught trespassing you’d better have a good excuse.

Only key holders are farmers etc, although the r/c plane boys go up there too.

Hmm, I wonder if any groups or individuals would be able to acquire parts for their projects from there?

Nope… not legally anyway !! 😉
